Nice for a walk
I walked alongside the river at the center of Banja Luka, for as far as this was possible. At quite some points no walkway is foreseen close to the river. But nice, with some benches to take a rest and enjoy the sight.

My Vrbas dream
I can not guarantee that I won˘t be partial, because Banja Luka is my dad`s hometown. :-) I you have decided to come to Banja Luka, you are going to love it , for sure. It has that special "east meets the west " ring to it.My favourite place in Banja Luka for sure is the Vrbas river, with it`s Kastel (castle). It is a magical , mystic place, a kind of place where you come and feel like time has stopped...The nature and surrounding architecture is quite preserved, and there are many types of events happening there all year round, especially musical evenings. I can`t guarantee a unique experience of nature or something like that when you visit this place, maybe you`ve seen more beautiful nature somewhere else already, but I can guarantee that Banja Luka and it`s trade mark , the Vrbas river, has a special vibe and spirit that you will fall in love with at first sight, just as I did....
